Speaker A
So, I'll make it short and tell you that there are three types of open world builds. The tagging builds aim to gather more loot while farming meta events with others.
Speaker A
A glass cannon DPS build that aims to deal as much damage as possible during meta events while being carried by support players.
Speaker A
To increase your ego and see your name showing in the DPS meter, nice but struggle to survive alone.
Speaker A
And finally, the solo build which aims to complete every other content in the open world since meta events are only a small part of open world content such as achievements, side events, and story easily and still do great as a support during meta events for good farming.
Speaker A
And that is my field of expertise. And I have a long history to prove it, especially since Guild Wars 2 is my favorite single player MMO, and I dare you to change my mind.
Speaker A
My name is Heisen, and I will be your guide to play the game in the right way, single player mode.

Speaker A
Without any further ado, let's start. Oh, don't worry. I won't nerf you too hard.
Speaker A
Look up. Four to six weeks later. Happy birthday, Balthazar HP. May you finally have a peaceful year without being bullied.
Speaker A
Oh no. Why the hell are you here? Execute order 66. Have a happy birthday.
Speaker A
What? A few moments later. WHY THE HELL WOULD YOU DO THAT? WELL, I I THOUGHT it would BE FUNNY.
Speaker A
FUNNY? EVERYTHING'S ON FIRE. AND YET somehow I am entertained. What? Oh, come on. You're going to look at me and tell me that wasn't funny, dude.
Speaker A
Okay. Okay. Okay. I admit I may have went a little overboard. A little. I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE FUNNY.
Speaker A
All right, let's start with the build. But before I get into the gear and traits, I would like to mention that this evoker build will use frog spirit instead of fox spirit for two main reasons.
Speaker A
The first reason, the frog spirit will help you easily stay alive unlike the fox spirit. The second reason when it comes to solo play, frog spirit will deal more damage than the fox spirit since it's able to stand still and do its tedious rotation without worrying about HP and it has access to both quickness and alacrity boons.
Speaker A
The gear that we will use for this evoker build is going to be full celestial gear with ruby runes and condition damage infusions. The infusions are optional, but it's good to have them.
Speaker A
The relic will be pirate queen relic to have perma quickness whenever we spam evoker F5 skill or any other CC skills.
Speaker A
As for weapons, we will use scepter and dagger with fat sigils to increase the total damage and cleansing sigils to remove three conditions every 9 seconds whenever we swap elements during combat.
Speaker A
As for traits, we will use fire and earth trait lines to maximize the condition damage of the build along with survivability.
Speaker A
Burning precision to inflict burning when you land a critical hit and increase the burning duration. Burning rage to inflict two stacks of AoE burning whenever you swap to fire element and increase the condition damage.
Speaker A
Pyromancer's presence to easily generate and keep 25 might stacks when using virus skills and deal damage when swapping to other elements. There is stone to increase the bleeding damage and duration. Strength stone to increase your total condition damage based on your toughness. Return stone to let you use your signet skills and gain aura without losing their passives. Addistic aspect grants more wounds when using evoker skills.
Speaker A
Familia's blessing to generate perma alacrity when using the frog spirit skill. Galvanic enchantment to inflict more damage when using your F5 skill. I tested the elemental balance trait, but the damage results were lower and the rotation was harder to keep up with.
Speaker A
As skills, we will use signal restoration to passively heal when spamming skills and can be used to heal more and reduce incoming damage when needed. Fox's Fury to inflict burning and easily generate more might stacks.
Speaker A
Second to fire to inflict more burning. Toad's Fortitude to inflict bleeding and can be used to stun break and generate stability stacks to avoid being CC'd by enemies. Not to mention the cooldown of this skill is really low. Elemental procession to deal more damage and generate resistance to ignore non-damaging conditions.
Speaker A
You might think evoker rotation will be complicated, but honestly, it's not.
Speaker A
Your main focus is to use both fire and earth skills off cooldown. And to make the rotation simple when swapping out from earth element and if fire is on cooldown just use skill 2, 3, 4, and both air and water elements until the fire element cooldown is off. Then repeat the loop.
Speaker A
Only use skill five and water when you need more healing and condition cleanse. And don't forget to use all your three utility skills and F5 skill off cooldown as well because they are your main source of damage and boon uptime.
Speaker A
It might take time to get used to the rotation speed, but when you do, you will easily melt many bosses easily while your HP is full. And you can find the DPS rotation link video of this build in the description of this video.
Speaker A
If you have End of Dragons expansion, it's good to charge your Jade Protocols to increase your defensive stats and generate boons every time you enter combat. And you can stack up this buff up to 3 hours. So, it's really good to have.
Speaker A
Hopefully, you enjoyed watching this video. That's everything you need to know about this build. Enjoy watching this evoker build easily face tank bosses and kill them in around 30 to 40 seconds only. Take care and have a nice day.
Speaker A
Still unbroken. I call upon the storm's power. Fortify rising. Still hard work. Heat. Heat.
Speaker A
Behold the ocean's power. Why am I being prepared to fight? Nothing can change us. Take that.
Speaker A
I call upon the storms of water. What is that mountain? Nice. Very nice. Tonight still unbroken.
Speaker A
A flame in our hearts. Grief is still unbroken. Another kill rising. A flame in our hearts.
Speaker A
Nothing can save us. The world lend me your patient desire. Fortify a flame in our hearts.
Speaker A
A flame in our hearts. Now that's a cop fight. I summon nothing can shake us.
Speaker A
Bring them low. The flame in our hearts. Better than I expected. Fortify me. Lend me your patient resolve.
Speaker A
Mountain. Lend me your patient resolve. There's a kill rising flame in our hearts. I summon the power of Malante. Nothing can shake us. You only made me fortify me and be more patient with a flame in our hearts.
Speaker A
That's good. You're dead. A flame. Here comes the flames. Nothing to shake us. Bring them both.
Speaker A
Now that's a Here comes nothing can trick us. Send me location. A flame in our box.
Speaker A
Nothing can shake us. A plane from bending is resolved. Nothing flame in our box.
Speaker A
I sort of presenting location. Together. That's great.
Speaker A
I sort of presenting location. together. That's great.
